"Sopra Steria is suing the Department for Work and Pensions' (DWP) after it rejected its bid for a new shared service contract, and accepted rival Capita's bid instead."
"Capita has already told The Register it took part in a robust procurement process and stands ready to work with the DWP to ensure a smooth transition of service and value for money."
"Sopra Steria began a legal challenge of the procurement in January this year, alleging Capita's price was abnormally low and the process was contrary to UK public procurement rules."
The UK's Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has criticized its outsourcing provider, SSCL, for sharing a document that was inadvertently provided. This document is central to a legal dispute involving Sopra Steria, which is suing the DWP after its bid for a new contract was rejected in favor of Capita. The DWP awarded Capita a £370 million contract for Business Process Services, while Sopra Steria claims the procurement process was flawed. The case centers on the 'Comparison Document' shared with SSCL in August 2025.
